For Business Owners: How To Get Paid on Time
June 10, 2021 @ 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM PDT
One of the biggest challenges of running a small business is ensuring customers pay for the work and pay on time. Without a clear understanding up front, before the work begins, some customers will delay payment or try to not pay at all. Please join the Coast Women in Business for a roundtable discussion on how to:
- Set payment expectations
- Deal with slow payers
- Provide processes that facilitate fast payment. Come to the meeting willing to share a resource or advice on how to handle customers so you get paid on time.
